THE CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM

MEMORANDUM MAR 29 1982

TO: Mr. B.R. Kirk DATE: January 28, 1982
City Administrator

FROM: Mr. W. Brown
Director of Planning

SUBJECT: Standard Landscaping Letter of Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council adopt the following resolution.

"THAT THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT COQUITLAM IN OPEN
MEETING ASSEMBLED DOES HEREBY RESOLVE TO ENTER INTO

A STANDARD LANDSCAPING AGREEMENT WITH ALL DEVELOPMENTS
REQUIRING A REZONING OR DEVELOPMENT PERMIT."

BACKGROUND:

City Council members may recall that in discussions with Mr. Art
Phillips about the standard Landscaping Agreement, several improvements
were suggested that could be made to the standard agreement. Sub-
sequently, City Council requested that the City Solicitor review

the standard changes. Those changes include a requirement that planting
materials be replaced which have perished during installation.

Secondly, that trees be to a certain minimum height. Finally, the
Landscape Agreement wording has been clarified that if landscaping is
not completed, the City may draw on the Letter of Credit and complete
the landscaping.

COMMENTS :

The standard agreement attached to this report has been prepared by
the City Solicitor to meet City Council's request. As has been City
Councils practice in the past, this standard agreement is being
submitted for it to be used in all future development permits and
rezoning applications. The precedent for this is the City's standard
right-of-way agreement procedure, and the standard Landscape Agreement
now being used.
